Because of the recent server issues, the IRC is down for now. In light of this, and because the chat has been a bit inactive lately, I think it's time to unveil something I had been meaning to for quite a while. I have created a Strider Discord server.

Discord is a chat software similar to IRC but has a few advantages. First, it is easily versatile - it can be used as a downloadable program or in a browser. You can register an account, but you don't have to. It is also mobile-friendly, with an Android or iOS app available for checking on the convo on the go.

It has support for multiple text channels, so conversation can easily be organized. It also has optional voice channels, for people who'd like that. In general, it would be a convenient and easy way to keep in touch and have that kind of group discussion we used to on IRC.

If you're interested, the invite link is here. You can check out the features, register an account, and download the program version at their website.
